Hmm, another modern series for Yoyo Mung? When are they going to cast her in an ancient costume drama? Don't know if she has ever been in one. . But I think she'll look fab in one, perhaps playing a skilled martial arts heroine! Shes certainly got the fierce look for it!

another romance serie, tvb have made many romance serie, i hope that there will be a little funny scenes in the serie

It would be weird seeing them paired up, after they've been playing siblings for a couple of series but they do look cute together, so we'll have to see....

Steven and Fala again?
Wow, they're also going to be paired up in this series...hhmn, well...hope they look good but doesn't Steven seem a bit too old for Fala?!

Yoyo was in Princess Sheng Ping with Nick Cheung, Chae Rim, and Qiao Zhen Yu before. She look quite good in ancient costumes.

Anyway, so Steven and Fala will pair up for the 2nd time?

Wait, Steven and Fala have paired up together before? Ah, short term memory!!

Anyways, wow, kinda weird...so is Yoyo going to pair up with Kenny then? I wonder what that's gona look like. I am actually okay with Steven and Fala, don't think it will be too bad.

^ Steven and Fala are also in "The Legend of Po SongLing" don't know if they end up together or not as I think they are still filming it.

So Yoyo was in "Princess Sheng Ping" which I never seen, was it a TVB series or China series?

XD Am I the only one here who prefers Fala & Steven as siblings? Lol. But looks like TVB wants to pair them up twice. Haha. Typical Producer Tsui series. 3-4 main cast.

^ I prefer them as siblings also. I still think Steven is a bit too old for Fala. Hhmn...

China series.

*.marshmallow:
I don't think it's that bad either, considering some of the pictures from the other one looks promising. This one, we'll see.

I think Steven is w/ Yoyo in this series. I mean Fala will not be leading female in here.

Whether Steven is paired up with Yoyo or Fala, either way they're gonna be fresh parings! Yea I also think that Steven will end up with Yoyo, he might start off with Fala first...

Steven has been paired up with Fala in PSL

^Yea I know that, its just that I haven't seen them yet so to me they are still fresh until I see their series! I don't think Fala and Steven will end up together in PSL, not when Linda is in it!

OMG why is Steven always in series with Fala? He needs to film with some big cast.

Here is the clips about Fala mentioning about this drama in English and in Cantonese version :-

Yoyo Comments
During the interview today, Yoyo Mung returned to TVB and met the producer as well as captured photos in front of the reporters. This was the first day for her to start her job in this year. Her mood was not bad when she returned back to film this drama in this end of July. She said,"A few months back, the TVB crews had planned out all the details regarding the story of this drama. I will film with Steven as well as Fala. The character I played for this drama is really fresh and new if compared to the roles that played in the previous dramas. So, I will explain that her role in this drama will be tricky, a good planner, a crazy person as well as searching for fun very often as well!"

My Opinion
WHOA!!! Fala looks sexy and Yoyo looks natural. I can't wait to watch this drama. OOpss!! I forgot this drama has not even filmed a thing yet! So, wait for it to come. And Steven!!! Hope his hair can grow a bit longer to look nicer!!!

This series looks good with great casts and as it has Johnson Lee, I'm hoping he will be funny in it and I wonder who he will be paired up with or not?!

The gallery for this series has been set up.
Here's the link:

Steven, Fala & Yoyo's new series "Diversion of Temptation"(?) 《誘情轉駁》promo pix 7/20/09.
No pictures were taken of Steven and Yoyo together.

Info compiled from various news snippets.
Steven Ma
Steven Ma portrays a lawyer in new series “Diversion of Temptations” (?).《誘情轉駁》 Since he has just recently wrapped up an ancient drama production, (Pu Songling) his hair has yet to be fully grown out, hence, giving him a skinhead look. The reporter seeing how thick his hair is already asks Steven if he uses any hair stimulant. Steven immediately raises 3 fingers in a boy scout’s oath swearing that he does not; just that his hair naturally grows this quickly and thickly. He says lately he has been getting quite a bit of gray hair. His character in the series is a nosy, street lawyer who is into everything and does not believe in coincidences.

Fala Chen
Fala portrays a pole dancer, and duly shows off her sexy look during the promo. Using Steven as a prop, she did various sexy poses for the reporters' cameras. Fala, sexily attired in bra top, hot pants and fishnet stockings, reveals that since she has to pole dance in the earlier episodes, she has previously attended a pole dancing lesson, which was truly exhausting.

She says the most provoking scene is a bedroom scene when she seduces Lau Dan to earn money to help out Yoyo with her vendetta. Lau Dan jokes that just looking at Fala now with Steven already races his heartbeats, so he will need to take a pill to control his blood pressure before doing the scene.

The script has Fala snapped “nude” when taking a shower (edited: in other reports, the snapshot was taken when she was getting out of the bathtub). This voyeuristic snapshot was secretly taken by her boyfriend, Eric Li, with his cell phone. He later uses the photo to blackmail her. Fortunately, Steven is able to resolve the predicament for her. Fala is quick to clarify that during the photo shoot of the "nude" scene that had already taken place, only her upper back to her waist was bared, and adhesive paper had been strategically pasted onto her chest to prevent accidental exposure.

Steven says that he has already seen Fala’s “nude” photo prop. When asked if he can resist Fala’s sexiness, he quips he has no problem and brazenly complains: “I don't think she was sexy enough. Her skirt could be shorter still.” In the series, Steven and Matthew Ko will be rivals vying for Fala's favors; in the end, Steven wins the fair lady.

Yoyo Mung
This is Yoyo’s first time taking on a villain role, which is completely different from her previous roles. She portrays a vindictive, devious and mentally unstable villainess who is bent on vengeance. When asked if she is worried that Fala might overshadow her? She replies graciously: “I like Fala! If one worries about someone else stealing the limelight then one is being extremely narrow minded. I’ll do my best to cooperate with Fala so that she will look her best. Anyway, Fala can act sexy; I can’t.” She hopes that the script will go all the way in depicting the evilness in her character, so that she can let her imagination rip. She says: “To portray a villainess, either go all the way, else don’t do it.” (Aren’t you worried that it might spoil your image?) “Artistes should broaden their acting horizon in anywhere possible.”

Fala Chen a sexy pole dancer in new series, Steven Ma feels its not sexy enough

In Fala Chen's new series, she plays a pole dancer, her costume is very small-scale showing her long legs. Lau Dan teased and said that when they start filming, he will have to first take medicine to lower his blood pressure, but male lead Steven Ma threatened that Fala was not sexy enough.

Fala Chen, Steven Ma, Yoyo Mung, Johnson Lee and Lau Dan attended the costume fitting of new series "The Turning Of Induced Feelings" yesterday. Fala's hot sexy net stockings stole the limelight, turns out that she will be playing a pole dancer. She will also have a scene with Steven Ma where they pose like the movie "Pretty Woman". Fala will also have to seduce Lau Dan in the series, Lau Dan teases: "Now when I look at her, my heart is beating. When we do the scene, I will have to first take medication to lower my blood pressure first!"

For the new series, Fala will have to learn how to dance around a pole, she reveals that its a great challenge. Regarding the level of sexiness in the series, Fala already has her limit: "I will only be sexy when I'm dancing, need to be brave." Fala also will need to do a scene where she's secretly photographed while she is showering. When the time comes, she will have to use plastic for exposure protection and will be revealing her back for the scene. Asked if she took these kinds of intimate photos with her ex-boyfriend before? Fala said: "I will never do that kind of thing with anyone, have to be extra careful with these things." Although Lau Dan said it was hard to bear with Fala's beauty, but Steven feels that its not enough: "I can withstand it. She could be sexier!"

Also, in the series Yoyo plays a major opponent (a villian), she feels that artists needs to try different types of roles. She hopes that the script will go to the max, she's not afraid of hurting her image. Asked if she's worried that the sexy Fala would steal the show? Yoyo said: "I really like Fala. She can be sexy, I cannot. I can't be so narrow-minded, when it comes out, I just want her to look pretty. I will try my best to accommodate."

HUH! scratching head...when did Steven ever threaten that Fala was not sexy enough??

Steven objects, complains, gripes, protests but certainly not threatens. (yim 嫌)

This is the first time for me seeing Yoyo playing the villian, I'm so looking forward to it, hoping she is really evil in it (come to think of it, this is her first time playing a baddie in a TVB series). So it looks like Steven will end up with Fala afterall.....unless he prefers the baddie more.....ahahaha....

Another Fala-Steven series? I don't know what to say

Woahh Fala looks hot! She's getting prettier and prettier every year
Steven - Nosy lawyer?? Haha! I must watch this!!

I am looking forward to this too. It sounds good. Btw, did Steven and Fala act in many series together? Those that I remember are of them being siblings and not of them as a couple. Kinda weird for them to act as a couple really. Anyway, I love the fact that Yoyo's gonna be the bad guy cause I don't think she ever ever played the bad person before.

Steven Ma Thanked TVB for Cultivating his Name. @ Ming Pao
Steven Ma and Fala Chen developed a "Mala" Love Relationship. @ Headline Daily News
2009/08/02

After a month’s or so rest, Steven Ma is back at work along with Fala Chen et al on his new series, “Temptation” . The troupe staged a small-scale blessing ceremony at East Tsim Sha Tsui outdoor shooting location to pray for a smooth sailing production; in attendance were Ma Zai, Fala, Kenny Wong, and Timmy Hung.

Recently, Ma Zai’s series, “The Gentle Crackdown 2”, has been ‘hotly’ televised on prime time TV across Anhuei, Chongjing, and Nanjing etc., thereby greatly boosting his popularity across China (Note. Jiangxi has just finished its 3rd consecutive TCG2 broadcast. TGC2 has been aired twice in a row, back-to-back in 2 of the above stations. It is televised not just in prime time but at all times; it’s on a 24 hr marathon run. “Hotly televised" is an understatement here. ) Ma Zai expresses that it is all thanks to TVB’s 10 years and more cultivation, so that his name is now familiar to the Chinese communities around the world.

As to the matter of his contract renewal with TVB, he says the talks between them are still ongoing. But he asserts that the contract per se is just a formality; their collaboration has always been cordial. Guess the contract renewal closure is just missing the strokes of a pen, that’s all.

-------
Steven Ma starts work on 'Temptation" after a month’s or so rest. He is in high spirits on his first day of work. In his new series, Ma Zai and Fala Chen’s pairing will switch from a sibling relationship to a ‘Mala’ couple relationship. During the break, Ma Zai compares height with Fala. He quips: “On high heels, she’s almost taller than me. So naturally, I need to puff out my chest, suck in my stomach when comparing heights.”

Steven and Fala have collaborated 4 times: Steps, AJCL, Pu Songling, and in this series.
They were siblings in the 1st series, in a triangle love relationship in PSL, and now as a couple in this series.

note: The argument night scene with the two in formal wear was shot at around 7 pm in Wanzai waterfront.

成報 Sing Pao 2009/08/03 snippet
The new series has several onsite location shootings; among them are the tourist areas of 尖東及新會展 which attracted a crowd of 100 over tourists and onlookers during its shootings. In between shootings, the spectators approached Ma Zai and Fala Chen for their signatures and to have their photos taken with them. Recently, the tv stations in Anhui, Jiangxi, Chongjing and Nanjing have been hotly televising Ma Zai’s series “The Gentle Crackdown II”. With his soaring popularity, no wonder crowds of tourists wrangled for his signatures and for their pictures to be taken with him.

Earlier on, Steven Ma and Fala Chen, while shooting their new TVB series “Temptation” at Mongkok, attracted a huge crowd of onlookers, causing much commotions onsite and disruptions to the filming progress. A group of Mainland Chinese tourists from Sichuan and HeiLongJiang insisted on having their pictures taken with Ma Zai provoking the exasperated director to complain to Mai Zai: “Don’t pay people to act as fans lah, disrupting the filming progress.” Steven was not mad, instead he smiled and said: “I know I've many fans in Mainland China, but I didn’t know there are some too in HeilongJiang.”

Fala looks pretty and Steven looks gorgeous in this drama!!!! I really cannot wait to watch this drama. And Yoyo...yeah I hadn't seen her for a very long time.

A few random filming pictures of Lau Dan and Yoyo:-

[Face 第116期]FBI Flie Fala Chen rushed to finish work

8/1/2009 8 pm Fala Chen and Steven Ma were shooting an on-location scene for their series “Temptation” at Golden Bauhinia Square, Wanzai. The scene had Ma Zai questioning Fala why she misunderstood him. This take was about Ma Zai grabbing Fala and restraining her against the guardrails. And Fala struggles to resist him. For this “action” scene, they rehearsed 4 or 5 times before the actual take. 2 NGS and the scene was done. However, working in the weather of 30 some degrees had Fala & Ma Zai sweating. After an hour of shooting, they wrapped up work.

improvised picture prompts:


During rehearsal, both Fala and Steven were both very serious
but Fala did not have her lines memorized, so she kept referring to her script.

The minute the director rolls the camera, Fala becomes angry;
Steven grabs her, and asks her to listen to his explanations.
(lol! they got to be still rehearsing, seeing that Fala's still holding onto her script.)

Steven aggressively grabs Fala and restrains her against the guardrails.
But Fala puts up a strong resistance. Seems so realistic!

同你吟一吟 马浚伟阻头阻势
2009 8/13 Thursday
Steven Ma hindered the filming progress.
gist: The weather was hovering in the high 30s when Temptation troupe was out filming an on-location shoot on Mongkok streets. The troupe was hoping to get the job done swiftly and get out of there. But a crowd quickly gathered there. Liked being possessed by the god, Wong Dai Sing, Steven fulfilled all requests that came his way. He was very friendly and accommodating to the crowd; taking pictures with them, signing autographs and chatting with them. The reporter jibed that the only thing missing was the exchange of telephone numbers. One crew member got so exasperated he yelled out to Steven: "Stop stirring up the si nai lah, the work can't get done lah." Well, can't really blame Steven, after all, the general public is his boss, and moreover, there are all kinds of people on Mongkok streets, if he did not do a good job entertaining them, who knows what kind of reception he would get from them, later.

^LOL, looks like Steven is a "Si Nai Sac Sou" (roughly translates to housewife killer!) Its great to see Steven fulfilling the crowd's wishes, LOL. Its nice that he didn't lose his "cool" in the hot weather!

Steven Ma & Fala Chen Filming in Sam Shui Poo

Steven Ma and Fala Chen were filming a late night dating scene for "Transferred Connection of Temptation"in Sam Shui Poo. In order to create a romantic effect, the director had arranged to use man-made rain, and it had attracted mosquitoes to the scene. Steven and Fala quickly became dinner for the mosquitoes. Their arms and thighs were red from the mosquito bites. Although they were spraying bug spray on non-stop and rubbing on ointment, it wasn't enough stop the itchiness. As the water vehicle was making false rain, it started to rain. The scene was finally completed after a couple hours of feeding to the mosquitoes. Steven said, "Luckily we have such a big crew to take care of us. I hope that the series will film smootly. We are not afraid of hard work because facing a beauty like younger sister (Fala) can be considered as happiness found in pain (苦中有樂)".

Transferred Connection Of Temptation will have its blessing ceremony tommorow, 21st August 2009.

Yoyo Mung doesn't mind being second line actress

Fala Chen, Yoyo Mung, Steven Ma and Tracy Ip attended the blessing ceremony for TVB new series "Turning of Induced Feelings". During the ceremony, Yoyo was said to have less screen time then Fala Chen and that she turned into a second line actress. She generously responded: "To me, these kind of reports do not have the power to hurt me. Fala does have more screen time than me, she has one more episode more than me, but I won't look at it that way. I don't mind being second line."

Fala expressed that her screen time is similar to Yoyo's and that both of their roles are equally important to the series. There is no difference in who is better, she also will not worry that Yoyo and her will spread gossips: "Yoyo's personality is really fun, very direct. I am quite compatible with her. We enjoy working together."

Also, Tracy reveals that recently she brought a new European sports car and used her father's name for the registration. She said: "Actually I brought the car two months ago, but I didn't dare to drive it because I don't want to be photographed. (Afraid that people might say you're too wealthy?) Yes, but now I'm not afraid. My car's license plate is 1186, it represents happiness daily."

Haha!!! I think eventhough Fala has one more episode more than Yoyo, I think Yoyo is the main female lead as she had already in the entertainment industry for a long time. Therefore, eventually Yoyo may take the first female lead. Yeah....I wonder Tracy Ip is newly added into the drama?!

i dont think being in the industry longer will necessary make her the female lead. Look at HOG, Linda got the lead instead of Yoyo.

i think fala is the lead based on her character description and the fact that she's pairing with steven...i like fala so i'm ok with this XDD

Steven Ma Wants to Get Married

Steven Ma has been busy filming new series "Transferred Connection of Temptation", and the other day, he filmed a wedding scene with Fala Chen. The couple will have a happy ending in the series. Steven and Fala have filmed many series together, and the two are quite good friends. When Fala was picking out the wedding dress, Steven was serious in giving his opinion. Fala expressed that she really likes working with Steven because he can bring her positive energy when working together. Even if it is hard work, Steven will take a deep breath and say, "Let's go!" and they will continue to strive for success. When Steven is tired and all worn out, he will not speak, but he will definitely not make a scene. Fala really admires Steven for having a good heart, and he is willing to tell his partner the truth; therefore, she has a lot of trust for Steven.

Fala also said that during this cooperation, she discovered that Steven is a person who really wants to get married. "Whenever there are kids filming on scene, he would change himself into a father figure, and treat them with love. He will definitely make a good husband and good father". When asked if she or Steven will marry first, Fala believes Steven will marry first. But Steven did not agree, but expressed that he does want to have a family with a happy marriage. It is his biggest wish. Steven had always wanted to marry before the age of thirty. He also hopes to become a father, and when he gets married, he hopes to have kids right away.
